The post includes a link to code on GitHub, which is a computer implementation of the theory in the book.

Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons, co-authored by Ulf Hlobil, of Concordia’s Department of Philosophy, was published by Routledge in July 2024. It presents a philosophical conception of logic—“logical expressivism”—according to which the role of logic is to make explicit reason relations, which are often neither monotonic nor transitive. This conception of logic reveals new and enlightening perspectives on inferential roles, sequent calculi, representation, truthmakers, and many extant logical theories.
